Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Kirk Gibson was born today in 1957. He's not one of my favorite players; it's not that I don't like him, it's that he never played for a team I like - in fact, played most of his career for a team I don't like at all.
I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->As great as Bill Mazeroski's Series-winning home run over the Forbes Field left-field wall in seven against the team-that-must-not-be-named? I think not!
I attended the 40th anniversary commemorative celebration at the vestige of that wall on the Pitt campus on October 13, 2000, when Maz himself (a rather shy, self-effacing fellow) was finally persuaded by three of his former teammates (included pitcher-turned-broadcaster Nellie King, RIP) to come to one of the festivities -- what a great guy!
Not the greatest, no. But definitely up there. Like Pudge's 12th inning homer in Game 6 in '75.
